Behavioral Health Network (BNET) - Case management and in-home counseling to youth enrolled in Florida KidCare programs.

Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Program (CAPP) is a part of a statewide initiative called SIPP (Statewide Inpatient Psychiatric Program) , developed to provide inpatient services for Medicaid eligible children of all ages. The services are inpatient, intensive, and short term and designed for children with serious psychiatric symptoms.  Children must meet specific eligibility and admission criteria.

The Children's Center is an emergency shelter for children experiencing placement disruptions or removal from the care of their parent(s) or other caregiver.  The shelter provides a time-limited, safe, structured environment until a more permanent placement is arranged.  All placements must be authorized by the community-based care provider.

Crisis Outreach Program – Provides a short-term crisis support, service planning and linkage with outreach and other indicated services for up to 3-6 months.  This service specifically targets those youths at risk with behavioral/mental health issues that without intervention could qualify or need a higher level of care if not closely monitored. The service will work with youth who are no longer meeting Baker Act criteria, yet are still at risk of experiencing an increase in symptoms and issues if immediate support, interventions, and crisis plans are not made available.

Emergency Response Team (ERT)  – Provides crisis intervention for children and families at risk for abuse or neglect occurring in the home.  The risk must be related to the presence of domestic violence, mental health and/or substance abuse crisis.  The program is provided in partnership with Suncoast Center, the Haven, and CASA.

Post Detention Coordination Services Program (PDCS) – This program is offered to 1st time detainees, ages 14 and younger.  Older youth will be considered on a case by case basis.  This one-of-a-kind, innovative program assists children in avoiding a return to the Juvenile Detention Center by providing them with resources to develop the healthy skills necessary to refrain from participation in future illegal activities.

Children's Screening and Stabilization (CSSU) / Juvenile Addictions Receiving Facility (JARF) – Provides brief, intensive intervention through inpatient care to children in crisis.

Therapeutic Foster Care – Provides foster homes for children with special needs. Family support group and 24-hour on-call services.
